Happy new year + Gearing up for January

As we close out 2016, please note that any final offerings to be counted toward 2016 giving must be made online by December 31. If sending by mail, it must be dated and postmarked by December 31. Make 2017 a more generous, obedient, and consistent year through online giving on The City. Aren’t on The City yet? Contact Brittany ().

We’re back to our regular Sunday schedule on January 1. Happy New Year!

Ladies Bible Study – Believing God
Come and join us on January 10 for Believing God by Beth Moore, delving into the character of God. We will follow the Life Group schedule for two 10-week sessions and will have two weeks per lesson so the homework won’t be overwhelming. Childcare if needed is available at no cost to you. See the flyer for details this Sunday and sign up on the City or at the table at the back of the sanctuary.
